Hello,

I joined NAM while researching and finally ordering my new girl. She's going to be on the Wallenius Wihelmsen Faust (largest auto-liner in the world) and arriving in NJ (they call it NY but it's not ) on the 10th and I'm literally drooling with anticipation.

She's Chili Red with a sweet silver roof and for now I'm nicknaming her Barebones because that's how she is coming to me... the only upgrades that I sprung for were the LSD (essential and apparently going to be unavailable very soon), the permanent roof rails and for my wife - the heated seats.

I've been doing heaps of research and asking around and am about to pull the trigger on a set of Team Dynamics Pro Rally 1s (15x7 or maybe 15x6 if I can find out whether they'll fit) wrapped in some 195/65R15 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D's. These it would seem will do me quite well for the upcoming winter weather.

Thanks for running this highly educational and interesting forum!

 

Welcome to NAM!

Congrats on your new order!

 

Welcome to the world of MINI, sounds like you know what you want.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I will def be posting some pics when she gets in - just have to figure out what tires and wheels to put on right away!

 

Pretty cool, that is my birthday! I bet February can't get here fast enough for you! GL!

 

haha no... that's December 12th! Not your birthday, sorry. Although WW now says the 13th

 

Just something for you to consider...

Some of the options Mini offers are not easily, or even possible, to be added after the car is built. You now have plenty of time to change your order if you so choose so I suggest that you go over EVERY option again to be sure you'll get just what you want!

Edit: oops! I just noticed the correction on the shipping date.
